CARMENS ORTIZ'S NEW MOTTO- WHY DO TEN WHEN YOU CAN TELL ON A FRIEND

This article in today's Boston Herald is right on the mark. The problem with the US court system is that they get in bed with the lowest forms of human beings in the world, RATS. The Government will make deals with ANYONE who tells them ANYTHING. They don't care if you killed 20 people or if you stole 20 million dollars. If you tell, you are A OK with them. They will cut your sentence by many years, forgo all your fines and restitution, and even get a gold star for your RAT like forehead.

The thing the Government does not understand or care to understand is that a rat will say or do anything to stay out of prison. They will lie, cheat and steal just to stay on the street so they can commit more crime. A RAT is the lowest form of human. They want to profit from crime and not face the consequences. My father always told me "a construction worker has to worry about getting hit in the head with a 2x4, a criminal has to worry about going to jail". What he means by that is going to jail is just a job hazard for a criminal and if you don't want to go to prison then don't commit any crimes. Not these rats though. They want to cut corners and rob, steal and even murder but not face justice and who can blame them. Shame on the Government for letting them get away with it.

Things need to change with the judicial system in this country but no one seems to care until it happens to someone in their own family. There are many innocent people in prison because some RAT threw them under the bus because they didn't want to do the time they should have and it sickens me.

Something has to change but it won't. The FBI could not crack one case if rats didn't help them and the US Attorneys office is run like a used car dealership where everyone that walks through the door whether employee or criminal comes out a little dirtier every time.

I’ve lost my faith in Boston’s federal court and U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz.
Yesterday,
former Chelsea Housing Authority Director Michael McLaughlin pleaded
guilty to shafting both taxpayers and Chelsea’s poor by knowingly lying
about his salary, which ballooned from $77,000 in 2000 to $366,000 in
2011.
His motive, said his lawyer: money.

His jail time: possibly none, according to the plea deal McLaughlin worked out with Ortiz’s office.
Yet
last month, computer prodigy Aaron Swartz took his own life after
prosecutors in Ortiz’s office threatened him with multiple years in jail
for downloading academic journals from an MIT computer system.
His motive: to make these journals available free.
His threatened jail time: up to 50 years.
True,
if Swartz had cut a deal like McLaughlin did, he was probably looking
at only seven or eight months. Then again, if McLaughlin fails to
cooperate with the federal probe, he was facing only 12 to 18 months
behind bars.
I can’t see the justice here.
I know,
McLaughlin gets a reduced term for helping the government indict more
alleged wrongdoers who may, or may not, include Lt. Gov. Tim Murray.
But
how sleazy is this deal? Those willing to squeal on former “friends”
get rewarded, those who don’t, do not. And those who refuse to plead
guilty — because they believe they’re innocent — face bludgeoning,
bankruptcy, hounding and harassment.
Recall what Harvey
Silverglate, a Boston defense lawyer, has pointed out: The first
indictment against Swartz contained four counts with a maximum sentence
of 35 years. The indictment after Swartz rejected a plea “upped the ante
to 13 counts.”
That translates to up to 50 years in prison and $1 million in fines, according to the congressional committee probing Ortiz.
Those
familiar with the federal system say this is how things must be done:
catch the small fries, turn them, and then catch the big enchilada. But
perhaps these apologists have been in the system too long. They can’t
see that things have gone too far, that too much wheeling and dealing
sacrifices faith in the system and its very integrity.
This is
hardly the first time we’ve seen such maneuvering around here. Federal
Judge Douglas Woodlock, who presided over McLaughlin’s hearing
yesterday, also sentenced Catherine Greig to eight years for abetting
alleged serial killer Whitey Bulger on the run.
Meanwhile,
Bulger’s former buddy in the Winter Hill gang, John Martorano, served 12
years in jail — just four more than Greig — and he confessed to 20
murders. That deal predated Ortiz’s tenure. But it’s in keeping with the
mentality in the U.S. attorney’s office.
And I can’t see the justice in it anymore.

About Me

After being wrongly accused and convicted of a crime I did not commit by disgraced attorney and Georgetown MA. politician Christopher C. Rich I decided to turn my life around and chronicle my past as a member of Boston's Organized Crime scene for over 20 years.

I have been closely associated with the likes of John Gotti Jr, Whitey Bulger, Mark Rossetti and many many others from my years in State and Federal Prison and my time associated with the Boston Underworld.

I started this blog and wrote my book to show people that most of the time the ones you think are protecting you are the real criminals. Politicians, the FBI, the courts, The Police and most corporations will rob and hurt you a lot faster than any Mafia guy I have ever met. The UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT is the strongest CRIME FAMILY in the WORLD.
